My bf says my adhd is not a big deal
I'm 18 and I just recently got diagnosed with inattentive adhd. I've mention to my bf before that I think I have it and he said to stop self diagnosing and how his friends have adhd and they're super hyper and talkative, I tried to explain that there are different types but he doesn't seem to care about learning about it. I got diagnosed and I told him and his first response was to say "they're lying" he later said he was joking but I just feel like that isn't a funny joke. When I told him I was about to start medication he said, "do you think this is going to like solve everything" it just really irritated me because I never said that I just wanted it to help me. I started medication and it made me feel so much more focused and made my overthinking go down. Every time I mention it to him he still acts weird. When I confronted him about it he said that he just don't think it's big deal because so much people have it. I try to explain to him that he's not around all the time and he doesn't see how much it affects me every day. He also told me how I'm too negative and that I don't try hard enough to get better like by doing techniques like deep breathing and it really upset me because he doesn't understand that it's a chemical imbalance in the brain and I was born with it.
